French Wine Dealer, Alarmed,

LONDON, July 2.-Gradually the French
wine dealers are approaching state Of ap-
prehension that the recent declaration of
the Chamber Of Deputies, that Legislative
interference is necessary to prevent the
alarming increase Of spirit drink In France,
and the Prime Minister'S aspersions OF
the purity of the prevailing beverage, por-
tends disaster to their respective industries,
but nobody believes that serious measures
will he taken TO restrict the ono evil or

The fact Is, however, that the frauds
committed in the manufacture OF wines
and spirits in France have decreased large
ly the demand for those commodities from
the long suffering consumers Of French
wines and liquors in foreign nations, the
orders having fallen of to such mn extent
that exporters have become alarmed lest
their business should he ruined.
The making Of brandy has for some
years threatened t0 become one of the lost
arts IN France and the potato and beet

exhausted the patience and credulity of

Terrible Work.

Jubal Early - , General-sheridan's
Terrible Work.
New YORK, July 2.-General Thomas
/. Rosser. Of Virginia, is staying at the
Victoria Hotel, having come to this city to
see his son OF to Europe to-day. The
voung mar who is 10 years OF age, IS en-
route TO Germany to pursue his studies.
When called upon by reporter to-day
General Rosser was not inclined to talk
with regard to the recent controversy be-
tween himself and General Phil Sheridan
and General Jubal Early. His hrst crltl-
cisms of Early were in an entirely friendly
spirit. but because he (ROsser) did not
think General Early a good toPographlcal
engineer, the latter became angry.
Il saw him studying a map OF the bat

because he could not find certain road on
tbe man he called an aide, who had IN
S,ymed him that he had Just rode through
Il id liar. He never could size up a
country for himself. and was helpless with
ont maps. But don't want controversy
eVith him. lie is an old man now, decrepit
alike in body and mind.
As to General Sheridan, General Rosser
said no one could tell just bow much he
wss to blame for the ravages coR baltted oy
his command, but that it would have been
cruel for General Sheridan to have har-
rowed the feelings Gf those persons whose
entire possessions had bssH swept away oy

PARRERsBURG, July 2.-WithOut one
word of warning B. K. Lombard, Balti-
more and Ohio telegraph operator here
since October, skipped last night, leaving
a large number of creditors i'll the lurch.
He owed tailors, cigar men, saloon men,
hotel keepers, wash women, bOotblacks,
dry goods merchants, Cinnamon, in fact,
everybody that it is possible almost to
owe. He received his salary on the first
by check, and though an interested party
watched him like q hawk he managed to
get 10 the bank and have the check cashed.
He told a former Western Union operator
here that his mother was dying and asked
him to take his place. He then left. His
wife had gone some days before, taking
the valuables, 50 that his escape was COM
paratively easy. He left nothing OF value.
The total amount of debts will be not far
from one thousand dollars. The Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph Company suffered with
the rest.

The lovers ofbase ball in this vicinity were
treated yesterday to one of the finest exhibi-
tions of the national pastime it has been
their lot to see on the grounds this year. The
Sanduskys came up smiling to meet their
second defeat. Their crack pitcher, Clarke,
was in the box, and everything betokened
what proved to be the case, that they
would put up good game Of ball. The
playing of the Wheeling boys indicated
that they now intend to do good work,
and will be amply able to keep the Zanes-
villes playing ball when they meet them
on Monday. Wheeling has struck Boz
nanza in her new pitcher, Sullivan. If he
continues to do as good work as yesterday
no fear need be felt tor his game. The new
players, Nicholson, Smurthwaite and
White, again covered themselves with
glory, while the old reliables showed up
in their usual fine form.
The Sanduskys played strong game,
and in defeating them the Green Stockings
have Just cause for pride. Strothers OF the
visiting team became uuruly and was fined
four dollars by Umpire Bauer. His con-
duct in the ninth was simply disgraceful
and won him another fine Of five dollars.
The way in which Umpire Bauer sets
down upon such action is refreshing. For
the first four innings the play was close
and exciting, Wheeling scoring once in the
second and once in the fourth on San
dusky's errors In the fifth inning they
caught on to Clark's puzzlers and slugged
the sphere in way that made that worthy
open his eyes and wonder what had struck
him, while his brother leather hunters
tired out running down the ball. The
inning netted Wheeling six runs. In the
sixth and seventh they were retired in one,
two, three order. The eighth and ninth
innings were repetitions of the fifth, in
which the Green Stockings squeezed
out six more scores. Sandusky was
blanked until the fifth, when, with one
man out and the bases full, ChrIsman hit
safe to left and Mulholland scored. In the
seventh, hits by Miller and Strothers and
loose out-felding gave them two more
runs
The whole game abounded in good
features. Among so many it is impossible
to mention all. The playing Of Smurth-
waite, Nichol and Sullivan for the home
team and Curry and Hewer for the visitors
was especially fine.
The full score is given below:

SHERMAN DENIES
RE SAID BLAINE WOULDN'T RUN
For the PrssidsnCy-He Says he Was Not
Interviewed.
The OLD MAN Is INDIGNANT
And Says. Blaine and He are Very Good
Friends.

PIrTsBURG, July 2.-The number OF dis
tinguished people that passed through the
Union Station this morning exceeded all
previous records.
As the last train arrived at the depot
and still one more of the notables stepped
from it, the most of them were considered
only as ordinary people compared with
their more favored fellow beings. Two Of
their number are spoken Of as candidates
for the Presidency.
The first of the distinguished people who
alighted at the depot was Archbishop
Ryan, of Philadelphia, the silver tongued
orator, who three years ago was escorted
by hundreds of priests and bishops from
st. Duis TO his new home in Philadelphia.
Then came T. B. Barry, of the General
Executive Board of the Knights of Labor,
and on the next train was Henry George.
The latter had as his followers the
Brooklyn base ball club who were evident
ly on the lookout for mascot.
The most distinguished gentleman OF
those who walked along the platform was
Senator Sherman. His tall form has be-
come familiar TO every person who fingers
around the depot.
The Senator, as usual, was in good hu-
NOR. He was willing to shake hands and
exchange pleasantries, but was then In
clined to hurry into his car. He had Just
come from New York, and had only heard
this morning that alleged interviews with
him had appeared throughout the country
in this mornings papers. When he had
finished reading them his faith in news
papers was almost completely shattered.
~ was not interviewed in New York,
he said. What appears in the morning
papers was manufactured. 1t is unkind
and ungenerous to publish such stuff l

Der of gentlemen were talking, but was
not interviewed. never said Blaine was
not a candidate for the Presidency. |
don't know whether he is a candidate or
not, and certainly would not make such a
statement unless did know. Nor did l
say anything about his giving himself up
to literature. Mr. Blaine and l are the
best of friends, and it is unkind to put
words into my mouth that never uttered.
Some politicians say that he may not have
the same element Of support in New York
that he had during the last campaign. As
regards interviewing all ask is to be let
alone"
rs the rebel flag question likely to be
revived during the next Presidential cam
paign?"
"It will not be forgotten. 1t will rise
up during the next campaign, and will
likely play an important part. | can't tsay
what were the motives of President Cleve-
land in issuing an order for the return Of
the flags. 1t may have been carelessness,
but it was a serious question that should
have been handled very cautiOusly."'
Eyes, | am one of the enthusiasts over
the old-time celebration Of the Fourth Of
July. We expect to make the occasion a
memorable one at Mansfield, o., where
will probably deliver a short address"
The Senator left at o'clock this morn
ing for his home at Mansfield, o., to be
there in ample time to take part in next
Mondays celebration.
